Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% cotton via lab tests to confirm Chapter 61 classification over synthetic blends
• Include commercial invoice detailing knitted construction and men's sizing to avoid reclassification as woven under Chapter 62
• Check for prohibited drawstrings or ribbed waistbands that could shift to other headings per chapter notes
